The goal of this planning effort is to prevent the spread of communicable disease and reduce the adverse environmental impact that is potentially created when densely populated areas improperly dispose of domestic sewage. The plan of action for the Health Department consisted of two phases. Phase I of the plan was a prioritization of factors within unsewered Knox County communities. As a result of that prioritization, Soangetaha West Subdivision and properties along Fairway Road have been identified to have an on site wastewater disposal needs assessment conducted. Phase II will be the Health Department personnel conducting surveys asking homeowners for information on their individual private sewage disposal systems.
This report will be presented to residents of the planning area. For more information, contact the Knox County Health Department at (309) 344 2224. Schwinn Force By Bowflex, Starting at $49999 Fitness Benches from $97 50 110 lb. Weight Set 300 lb. Weight Set $15000 Jr.
